The Cost of IVF and Insurance
February 19th, 2010 by the writerMany people believe that their insurance will cover the cost of IVF. And some well off people do have great insurance policies that will cover the full cost of IVF. But the vast majority of women who want IVF will have to pay out of their own pocket.
However, even if you have insurance, if you need to use egg donation – instead of the woman’s own eggs -) to achieve conception, the insurance company will normally not pay for it and you will be forced to bear the full cost of the IVF cycle yourself.
This high cost of IVF is of great concern to many women, prompting many of them to seek alternative fertility methods. In addition, even if a couple is able to afford the cost, they also have to factor in the associated costs which can bring the price even higher.
